OPM |Will employees performing excepted work be paid for performing such work during a shutdown furlough? If so, when will excepted employees receive such payments?

'A. Yes. After the lapse in appropriations has ended, employees who were required to perform excepted work during the lapse will receive retroactive pay for those work periods. (See 31 U.S.C. 1341(c)(2).) Retroactive pay is provided at the employee’s “standard rate of pay.” If the retroactive pay cannot be provided on the normal pay date for the given pay period, it must be provided at the earliest date possible after the lapse ends. (Note: Presidential appointees who are not covered by the leave system in 5 U.S.C. chapter 63 are not subject to furlough, but are also barred from receiving pay during a lapse in appropriations. These Presidential appointees will be paid after the lapse in appropriations has ended. See Question B.6.)'

Democrat Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Criticizes Republicans and Democrats as Primaries Heat Up

'He has accused President Biden’s party of an “undemocratic attempt to rig the Primary Process” after New Hampshire Democrats defied the national party to keep their primary the first in the nation. He said: “I thoroughly support New Hampshire’s century-old status as the first primary state and the political culture that has grown up around it,” said Kennedy. The new first state in the official calendar is now South Carolina — a state in which President Biden has performed well, in contrast to his losing record in New Hampshire and Iowa. ..."If the Biden campaign thinks they can win with administrative tricks and evasions, they will be in for a rude surprise in both New Hampshire and South Carolina," Kennedy said.'

Fired Ukrainian prosecutor Shokin says Joe and Hunter Biden DID take BRIBES

'At the time of his firing, Shokin was investigating oil company Burisma Holdings for corruption - when Hunter was serving on the firm's board. Joe Biden is alleged to have threatened to withhold $1 billion in aid to Ukraine if Shokin specifically was not fired for corruption. ...Years later, Biden actually bragged about his firing at a Council on Foreign Relations event in 2018. Biden said that he would withhold a billion dollars in U.S. aid if the Ukrainians did not agree to fire Shokin. 'I looked at them and said, 'I'm leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money,' Biden said. 'Well, son of a b****. He got fired,' he continued. Republicans have said Hunter's Burisma entanglement and possible influence in Shokin's firing is evidence of the Biden family's influence peddling scheme.'
